"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

always think positive, always assume the best...

No reason to think negative...back in 07 I had some real delusional beliefs that helped me a lot...but you must not be affected when your wrong...

If anything...don't be negative...I got blown out in 90% of my sets all last week...

Remember, there is Self Confidence, and then there is Self DELUSION.
Your 'gut' will usually keep you in 'check'.

That is why you need to build Authentic Self Esteem and teach your Body that it IS "confident" and that IT CAN 'handle this".
Otherwise, it won't believe you, and hold you back.

It's acually a mechanism of the primal brain. It is used to help keep people in certain social hierarchys.

But in modern societys may Social Staus 'cliques' and 'leagues' be DAMNED.

Rise above that idiocy, self importance, and delusion.


All 'status' and social cliques are fleeting and constantly changing.

If you base your identity and self worth on temporary and ultimately, superficial standards, you will be wasting your time and precious life energy...

Things are reallyu not 'good' or 'bad', it is ALL about how YOU 'react' or preferably, RESPOND to them.

Every challenge you face, you must learn to look at as an opportunity to grow and improve, and build authentic self esteem. No one can ever take that away from you.

We are often our own worst enemy.

Most people do NOT think that badly of us.
In fact, for some of us, people think very highly of us, and are actually interested in ourselves, our well being and peace of mind.
Can you believe that?

You can only bring that into your life if you build Self Esteem,and pursue the road to High Character.

When you do, only those people will be in your social circle.
It may not be huge, but they will be quality people. All who support you in some way.
This gives you more inspiration to be the best Man you can be.
Consistenly improving, learning, growing, evolving.


Sometimes we have to realize that what we think is a problem, actually isn't.

And sometimes when we think we NEED to have a solution, all we may really need to do is sit still, be quiet, and listen.....

There isn't always negative self talk, if you make an effort to 'quiet' your mind,and stop the incessant over analyzation and chatter...

With a positive mindframe nothing is impossible, and with a negative mindframe everything is impossible. Everything you do in your life is just a state of mind and concentration.
